Fit Columbia/Fit Yoga

About

We offer mat yoga classes and wall yoga.

The original "yoga wall" design was a system of knotted ropes and anchors, fastened to a wall, used primarily in Iyengar yoga studios. Named after its originator, BKS Iyengar, this form of practice is renowned for its emphasis on detailed alignment and mastery over even the most subtle movements. It is regarded as among the most therapeutic yoga practices ever developed and many teachers from other systems of practice—from power yoga to hot yoga—study this method, with its emphasis on anatomic and kinesthetic accuracy, to deepen their own practice.

The Yoga Wall at Fit Columbia is a contemporary adaptation of the old wall yoga system, which blends the effectiveness of old school therapeutics with modern accessibility and ease of use. Our yoga wall system allows for an incredible range of adaptation to accommodate any body of any ability, and support nearly any pose. By using the adjustable straps in varying poses, the wall allows us to access deep core muscles, rather than relying on superficial skeletal muscles for movement. It provides unparalleled opportunity for traction of the entire spine and hips.
